Male and Female Infertility Expert
IVF was originally developed to help women with damaged or absent fallopian
tubes which prevent the sperm from meeting the egg. However, it is now used to
assist in
many other circumstances, including unexplained infertility and where there is a
sperm problem ( referred to as male infertility). The IVF procedure, in outline,
involves the use of drugs to stimulate the growth of follicles, which contain
the eggs, recovering and inseminating the eggs with sperm and transferring the
resulting embryos into the womb.
If you've been trying to start a family without success you're not alone. Around
1 in 6 couples in India have problems conceiving. To understand what causes
infertility you
need to know a bit about fertility - the ability to make a baby. To start a
family you need to be healthy, your hormones must be working properly and the
systems to produce eggs and sperm must be in good working order. Dates of sexual
activity play an important part too.
For fertilization to occur, sperm produced in the testicles and ejaculated into
the vagina must swim up the uterus and into the fallopian tube where one sperm
penetrates the egg....The egg is then captured by a fallopian tube and is viable
for about 24 hours, but its best chance of being fertilized is within the first
12 hours following ovulation. For pregnancy to occur, a sperm must unite with
the egg in the fallopian tube within this time. Sperm are capable of fertilizing
the egg for up to 72 hours and must be present in the fallopian tube at the same
time as the egg for conception to occur. If fertilized, the egg moves into the
uterus two to four days later. There it attaches to the uterine lining and
begins a nine-month process of growth.
